'Decentralized Infura' may help prevent Ethereum app crashes: Interview
The initial “Dfura” marketplace, which is currently in development, is expected to include up to 10 Web3 data providers. Infura is developing a decentralized marketplace of data providers that will help to prevent Web3 app crashes in the future, according to a Feb. 6 Cointelegraph interview with Infura researcher Patrick McCorry.

It will have “up to 10 providers initially” that will “work together to bootstrap the network and then […] Gradually iterate and get more players.” Some potential partners will meet at ETH Denver in late February or early March to discuss the project's next steps. The new project will not be a new blockchain. Instead, it will be a marketplace that matches consumers of blockchain data with data providers, as McCorry explained: “There'll be a mar
